Unreal Dev Grants

Epic has created a $5,000,000 development fund to provide financial grants to innovative projects built in and around Unreal Engine 4. Awards range from $5,000 to $50,000, and there are no strings attached: you continue to own your IP, are free to publish however you wish, and can use the grant funds without any restrictions or obligations to Epic.

Simply put, we succeed when you succeed. Unreal Dev Grants can give you the boost you need to take your project beyond working prototype. Epic wants to help you focus more on creation and worry less about keeping the lights on.

Who are we looking for?

Anyone Making Cool Things with UE4. We like games, of course, but we also want to see animated features, architectural visualizations, Marketplace content, mods- anything that will make us say “Whoa.” Please send us as much as you can, and working prototypes are best. If you’re only at the design doc or scriptwriting stage, keep going.

Students and Educators. We’d love to see class projects, engine extentions, curricula, tutorials, or any other creative or innovative work related to UE4 and education.

Crowdsourcing Fundraisers. If you’re using any of the crowdsourcing sites like Kickstarter or Indie Go-go, don’t worry, you can still apply for an Unreal Dev Grant. When both work out, you’ll be that much further along.
